I think that movement of the foot, combined with a always somewhat damp from sweat environment isn't the best for adhesion of tape.

But perhaps a combined attack plan of filling the holes AND using tape will give good results.

It looks as if there are no off the shelve shoes like the ones I'm looking for.
I think it's DIY time!

Thanks people!
I've had good luck with it, but it probably depends on the surface on the inside of the shoe, the quality of the tape, ambient conditions and so on.

Worst case maybe the filler with silicone sealer under it? The silicone could be dug out later. Just a thought not sure how well it would work...
